The LightHouse is proud to present the second installment of its Future Leaders series with Transition Summit 2013.
In adhering to our 4T philosophy: THINK, TRAIN, TRANSFORM, and THRIVE, the LightHouse Youth Services Program is offering this intensive three day workshop to blind and low vision youth between the ages of 16-25 who are enrolled with the Department of Rehabilitation.
Building upon skills and concepts introduced at Transition Summit 2012, this exciting three day workshop at our beautiful Enchanted Hills Camp promises to be another enriching and educational experience for anyone interested in learning the skills necessary for vocational, academic, and personal success. Participants will explore, discuss, and engage in a wide variety of fun yet meaningful interactive activities covering such topics as: cultivating and maintaining a positive attitude in the workplace; the importance of job enthusiasm; professionalism: what it is and what it is not; identifying and understanding workplace etiquette and boundaries; developing strong interpersonal skills; creative problem-solving and critical thinking; non-confrontational conflict resolution, leadership skills, and more.
Transition Summit 2013 will be a fun-filled event you won’t want to miss!
When: Friday, April 19 through Sunday, April 21, 2013
Where: Enchanted Hills Camp Napa, California

I am so glad I opened your site this am. I am a special education teacher in Napa and I have access to the Vocational Services/Workabillity Program with the NVUSD. I will give one of the secretaries a flyer for this workshop to share with the specialists who work with high school students in the school district who are low vision and dept. of rehab clients.
